Will have to try it!
Do you need to fry them?
yes they are raw. come on!
Ah ok
Eating migoreng every meal need a change.
I don't have a deep frier so I cook in the pan. They go well
For me they always stick to the pan why I fry them - so now I just microwave them from frozen and that works well too (they just don't have the nice golden colour on the outside that frying gives).
@ab1jcw: That could be an issue with the pan. Do you use canola oil? It's supposed to be good for pan frying
@ab1jcw: What oil do you use? I use about 1 tablespoon of peanut oil on medium-high heat and fry for about 1 minute. Then to stop it from sticking, I add some water (maybe around 3 tablespoons) and cover it. Steam for 3 minutes then remove the lid and keep cooking until the water evaporates and the gyoza are browned.
I serve with a sauce made up of smokey bbq sauce, Sriracha and some hoisin and/or plum sauce. Sometimes I use sweet chilli sauce instead of the Sriracha (usually at the times when I'm forced to share my gyoza).
EDIT: hippyhippy beat me to it! I hadn't refreshed this page for over an hour so didn't see the comment.
@ab1jcw: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/76935/42888/img_0495.j… What you need is one of these non-stick pans!
@c0balt:
l'll need to consider using peanut oil next time I make some - but we don't normally have that oil at home so I'd need to buy it especially for frying these. I do use a non stick pan and have tried with and without oil and a variety of different oil (olive, canola or vegetable oil - separately, not mixed togather) and not had any success.Although they don't look as nice as pan fried I'm actually quite happy with microwaved and it also means I don't have the bother of washing a pan afterwards (I eat from the bowl I microwave them in).
@ab1jcw: We just pop them into an oven for 12 mins at 180 degree celcius - without any oil, and its ready to eat. I kind of like it like that, for the crunch.
These things are easy to cook.. put some oil in the pan… put in on medium heat … put the dumplings in the pan.. add maybe half a cup of water … put a lid on … steam it for 5 minutes .. take the lid off .. once the water is gone.. its ready.
Once the water is gone, let it cook for a few more minutes. then you get a crispy base :)
You should try to, I tried to oven them, they were so fishy and horrible. Lightly frying them didn't help either.
I do not.
just bought some & fried it up. can confirm, it's great
as I remember correctly, they used to do 1.2 -1.3kg bags in Colesworths now just only 1kg :( Sneaky move
We're you expecting a public service announcement about how they're lowering the value of the product without dropping the price?
Are these any good? Obviously they are frozen food from the supermarket but how bad are they? I've had good experience with some frozen sui mai that came from Asian grocers but had terrible experience with spring rolls from Colesworth that are often half price. They are just rubbish.
Where do these gyoza fall on the scale?
Please don't say Colesworth ever again.
Why not? You prefer Woolcoles?
i prefer Worthless. The s's are grouped together for easier pronunciation.
haha first time I saw that word was in Ozbargain though
Had them yesterday, they are pretty good. Much better than the other brands coles stocks.
I'd rate them as being on par with food court sushi shop gyoza. Not too bad at all, especially when shallow fried.
Cooked them in an air fryer too with success.
They are good for the price there are about 40 in a pack. There isn't a lot a prawn though… I think the inside bit is 30% prawn and it's the cheaper vannamei prawn… No msg though so I'll be buying more at this price.
currently i buy the aldi ones ….. steam them then some into fridge for later and some get fried. also ones are $13kg so this is cheaper but will need to check % of prawns to see which give you the most " expensive ingredient"
No MSG? I guess I'll have to add some in while cooking.
I got a bag last time they were half price and really liked them (I got 3 this time) :) So I'd say it's worth trying a bag and seeing what you think.
used the steamer and found the Prawn Gyoza is a bit salty for my liking. My housemate said just boil them and problem solved. nonetheless, I reckon the taste is pretty good and in fact much better than the one they sell in Aldi. Again, just my two cents, and each to their own :)
Yum!!
I've had these and they are one of the better ones in my opinion, but they are super super gingery, which may not be to everyone's taste. I like to cook mine in warm water and put them in my ramen sometimes.
These haven't been $10 for a while now, so stock up and buy other stuff if necessary to $100 by Sunday to get your $15 off next purchase.
As an Asian I can tell you they are really nice. The suimai or spring rolls no matter what brand just dont bother coz the filling is rubbish. But this is real stuff every time half price i stock 5kg at least. And only way to cook is pan fry, cheers
I don't mind steaming sometimes too but need to be careful to not over/under steam.
Btw it's Siu Mai, and this Gyoza is a twisted version I would stay away from this because of "Ginger" it's just not matching the taste.
shao mai
What does being Asian have to do with your assessment of these being 'nice'?
Are you saying an Aussie doesn't have an idea of a good/bad Gyoza?
To be fair, the average non asian Aussie has no idea. Speaking from experience cooking gyoza for aussies in asia
@tomkun01: Ok, now I'm curious. How did you test this? Did you put different quality ingredients to test?
@faceman54: no. I'm not claiming any facts using the scientific methods. It's merely an opinion based on my experiences. Take it or leave it.
Similarly, people in asia generally don't know what a good pizza or burger tastes like.
As an example, theres a Japanese fast food place in Brisbane. It's really,really low quality, bland fast food, but people go crazy for it. Same with sushi here. The simple fact is that most people in Australia don't travel and will never be exposed to better tasting asian food.
@tomkun01:
Agree. Different foods are good in their own right. But native can easily tell whether it's good enough since they grow up with them.This product is a nice combination, Product of Thailand, the name "Gyoza" is Japanese version of "Jiaozi/Dumpling", but the narrow and wide shape's more Korean style. Pan frying is preferred, topping with some fine chopped spring orion/chives, dipping in black rice vinegar, nice.
@tomkun01: Different tasting pallets buddy, it's personal opinion as to what tastes better. It doesn't mean that Aussie's don't know what good food is.
@tomkun01: It's only better tasting if you grew up with it though. Taste isn't a thing, it's an abstraction that our brain creates which is most influenced by early emotional experiences.
This is why your mother's dish that is your favourite just doesn't seem all that special to people outside your immediate family and why McDonald's aggressively targets children under the age of 8 years old with marketing campaigns.
In that case does that mean u never bother listening to others opinions? Coz what's the point, everyone's pallet is different as u say.
@tomkun01: what a load of crap. Australians are one of the biggest international travellers in the world. It's a matter of taste. I have had good and bad food of all different types all over the world. Stating that only Asians can be the judge of what is good or bad Asian food is ridiculous.
@robbyjones: after a quick search, i found some useful information here. Less than 2.8% of australian travellers went to Japan in 2012. The most visited asian country was indonesia (11% of aussie travellers). And despite your claim that "Australians are one of the biggest international travellers in the world", only 31% of australians travelled overseas that year.
Those figures don't tell us whether or not the same people travel each year, so we can't use those figures to make any conclusions. Looking at the top ten countries visited (NZ at the top), visiting family/relatives might be the biggest motivator for aussies to travel - which means they might just be going back to the same place every year.
@tomkun01: you need to do more research. Your comments thus far dont have any actual weighting behind them, it's just a bunch of opinionated noise.
Simply travelling overseas does not necessarily equate to tasting that nations' cuisine, particularly if that traveller is closed minded about tasting different or 'disgusting' foods.
Food/drinks is often cooked/served/manufactured to taste based on locale, i.e Coca Cola in Japan is designed to be less sweet and fizzy than coke in Australia, as that is what is preferred over there.An example is that it is common for Chinese restaurants in western countries to serve 'bastardised' versions of Chinese cuisine to 'accommodate' for western palates. This I can confirm from having been to China numerous times, as well as being Chinese and raised in Australia; and having had the opportunity to compare certain dishes both here and abroad.
Even during the Beijing Olympics, numerous restaurants had to change the names of dishes, as well as the 'taste' to be more in line with foreigners' palates.Despite taste being a very subjective matter, there is a consensus on how specific foods are generally supposed to taste.
So it's not that 'aussies' don't know what good food is, it might just be that the food they are served/have eaten (and considered good) isn't how the food traditionally is supposed to be/taste, which would skew their opinion. This is applicable to everywhere, not just aussies.
If a dumpling restaurant was full of non-Asians, I would not eat there. Same with Italian place full of Asians.
@OptimisticPessimist: this is what I said, it's different tasting palettes, but Tomkun seems to know better… @tomkun01 ….
How do i score the $15?
Thanks :)
Excellent. These are pretty good esp for $10!
I had these last night for my late night snack. I'd recommend have it with sweet chilli sauce
Agree! So yummy
The KB Salt and Pepper Squids are excellent. They were $10 to begin with when Coles started stocking them and used to buy 'em regularly. But now, it's about $20. I'll be buying it for sure again. Thanks
Yeah I regretted not buying more last time lol
You shouldn't but these, they have thai prawns in them. In oreder to feed these prawns they trawl the ocean flaw and it's terrible for the environment. Your much better going with aussie prawns, they may be more expensive but they taste better and are a lot better for the environment.
*Floor.
*You're.u forgot main one "buy"
Also add:
- Buy
- Order
- Aussie
"buy"
I can understand how you may have typed you're incorrectly.
I can understand how you may have typed buy incorrectly.
But seriously…how do you type floor as flaw?You managed to spend the time to educate yourself about "the environment"
How about spending a bit of time on some basic literacyI know the difference I just typed it quickly and didn't check it.
Too many Thai prawns perhaps
These are made in Thailand, no doubt with farmed prawns.
Honestly, pretty much everything we do is terrible for the environment and most of us don't know how harmful current business practices truly are. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to be more environmentally friendly, it's just that comments like yours are hard to back up and I don't know who or what to believe.
There was a good documentary series on sbs called 'Whats the catch', which was about sustainable seafood. To feed farmed prawns in Thailand they make the pellets by grinding up whatever they can trawl of the ocean floor. Don't know if this is the case with all Thai prawns or if practises have improved since then.
http://www.sustainableseafood.org.au/fish.php/1/73/prawns*What's.
*Off.
*Practices.Wouldn't surprise me. Thanks for the link mate
So right tomkun01. I saw a similar documentary - the trawlers scrape the seafloor clean; a lot of Thailand's and Vietnam's coastline is literally an underwater desert.
I'm buying Aussie prawns - of course they are more expensive but at least their not raping the ocean floor to feed us!
I always buy three to four bags of this when they go on sale! Best frozen gyoza imo. Thanks for the reminder.
Cook your veg first in the pan for a bit, turn the heat down slightly then chuck these on top so they don't touch the sides, followed by the lid. The moisture from the veg will steam them nicely.
I had these in a shopping mall where they sell Japanese food cost $2.50 each and no prawns in it. I'm going to buy 10 bags after work and get 15% off.
Edit:
Here is the dipping sauce recipe if you have time to make it.
4 tbsp rice vinegar
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves pressed or finely chopped
1 tsp finely chopped or grated ginger
1 green onion finely sliced
1 tsp sesame oil
not really 15% off you get $15to spend at next shop.
Am i missing something? How do i get $15? Can't find anything on ozbargain searching under "coles".
Cool em raw with some oil for a bit, add some water into pan + cover lid and steam for a few mins until they make crackling noises = crispy on bottom, steamed on top.
These are so damn good, I wish I had a chest freezer to buy 5 packets of these. YUM.
I take them out of the freezer, into the pan+lid with a pinch of water (to cook and defrost). I add oil later if I want a crisper touch.
How do you pinch water?
Lol, more like a hand scoop of water then :)
You steal it from the neighbour.
These are delish, could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
These are awesome, always pick up a couple packs when they're half price.
I swear the dumpling house nearby uses these, they're that good.Pan fry, then add some water, put the lid on the pan and steam, perfect.
